And as long as you and the Holy Spirit are OK, nothing else matters. This is the radical individualim of Protestantism that destroys the concept of Communion of the Saints.
There's plenty of communion of the Saints out here in flyover land.
OK, Steven, you and the Holy Spirit have a good thing going. What about the next new Christian who comes along? Maybe he ain't so good at figuring things out and might be susceptible to false teachers.
Why don't we just turn him over to guys so you can splain stuff like Matthew 1;25 to he or she. That won't work either. sorry.
Wouldn't it be a good thing, a Christian thing, to have prepared for this new Christian information about exactly what teachings are wrong, how to recognize them, and why they are wrong? Maybe even write this information down for use by future Christians?
Sure, but not the the contaminated stuff that lacks credibility.
Nope. Let them and the Holy Spirit figure it out anew.
Much better than lettin' you guys get to him first.
Sure, but not the the contaminated stuff that lacks credibility.
If it is a good idea to write down "uncontaminated" Christian truth and understanding of various heresies one might encounter, to help other Christians now and in the future, why didn't your church do this for the first 1500 years it "existed"?
